Thank you for using Neighbourly
Community gardens are a great way to meet your neighbours and get involved in your community - and of course for growing food.
Do you pitch in in your nearest garden, or can you think of a space that has potential to become a community space?

The Food Secure Communities Grant Funding is for communities to work together to develop and implement a Food Secure Communities plan to create long-term, sustainable food security in their community. Where plans are already underway, funding can enhance existing efforts.
Plans are expected to influence how the second year of Community Food Response Grant Funding is spent, as organisations consider how they contribute to creating a food secure community.
This will mean that communities are better positioned to manage future shocks to food security when Community Food Response Grant funding comes to an end.
Total funding available
$1 million over two years from September 2020 – June 2022.
We expect to fund around 50 initiatives with grants that will average $10,000 per annum and total $20,000 over two years.
What is involved in a Food Secure Communities plan?
You may wish to:
Co-design what food security looks like in your community
Map your food security assets and consider your gaps
Consider how the principles of Te Ao Māori are incorporated in your food secure community plan
Consider what services that enhance the mana and food sovereignty of those utilising the services looks like
Establish a collective impact initiative.
Consider how governance and management of your organisations reflects the makeup of your community
In developing your food secure community plan, this may include:
People, families and whānau in your community who are vulnerable to food insecurity. (Beneficiaries and those with low or substantially reduced incomes, those who are homeless or in social or rental housing, including Māori, Pacific, women parenting alone and disabled people are most vulnerable to food insecurity).
Relevant foodbanks and community food services in your area, and other organisations who are supporting people, families and whānau who are vulnerable to food insecurity
Iwi, Hapū and local marae
Local councils
Food in schools programmes
Food rescue
Community food social and cooperative enterprises
Local food producers, businesses and markets, community gardens, maara kai, pataka kai and other community food ‘assets’.
MSD staff will provide support, as will Kore Hiakai Zero Hunger Collective.
Who can apply?
We are seeking individual or joint applications from organisations that are:
Registered as a Charitable Trust, Incorporated Society or other not for profit legal entity.
Able to articulate how their governance and management structures are reflective of the makeup of the communities in which they operate.
Able to demonstrate that the initiative will lead to outcomes that benefit people, families and whānau who are vulnerable to food insecurity.
Able to demonstrate strong and ongoing connections to groups in their community that are vulnerable to food insecurity.
Able to demonstrate how they are or will be actively working together with others to build a food secure community.
Able to demonstrate how they will go about developing and implementing a food secure communities plan.
Eligible costs There is flexibility around what funding can be spent on, but we expect in general it will most likely be used to lead this initiative.
Expected outcomes
The expected outcomes will vary by community, but in general will be along these lines:
Communities are food secure, and enhance the mana and food sovereignty of people, families and whānau.
People, families and whānau have access to affordable, nutritious, sustainable food that meets their cultural and dietary needs.
Reporting requirements
Your Food Secure Community Plan is due to us on 10 April 2021.
This will then contribute to discussions with organisations receiving Community Food Response Grant Funding on any changes they wish to make to contribute to creating a food secure community.
A final report will be due in July 2022.
Reporting includes:
Your communities shared vision for a Food Secure Community, including your common understanding of the problem and agreed approach to solving it.
Measuring your communities progress towards achieving your shared vision
Who you are working together with, and your joint plan to achieve your communities vision
How you are working together. e.g. convening, coordination and communication.
Your highlights, results, learnings and achievements.

At 76 years old we have down sized and I no longer have a “stamp hobby room”, so I have these 2 framed ORIGINAL ART PICTURES.
1) SCREENPRINT ON EMBOSSED PAPER BY W. GRIFFIN (not sure of name)

Replica of 1898 Pictorial stamp “Kaka & Kea”
Photo of original stamp and framed screenprint 8.5 x 10.5 inches
Stamp: 1898 Single 1s 'Kea and Kaka' gummed stamp.
Kea (Nestor notabilis), on the left, is a parrot about 46 cm long with olive-green feathers and scarlet under wings. It is a bird of great personality, raucous and inquisitive. Kaka (Nestor meridionalis), on the right, is a parrot about 45 cm long, often heard before being seen - its loud, harsh call travelling some distance. Its appearance is striking - bright red-orange neck, abdomen and rump, olive-green above, with scarlet under wings which can be seen when the bird is in flight.
Also:
2) Framed 1935 Pictorial of Tui printed on fabric with hand painted bird – 9 x 11 inches
Stamp: 1935 Single 1s 'Tui' gummed stamp.
A number of New Zealand birds are songless, but the beautiful tui is a notable exception. It is an inimitable songster, a remarkable mimic, and it can be taught to talk. Between 30 and 38 centimetres in length, the tui has two tufts of white feathers at its throat, a collar of long white curved feathers on the back of its neck, and a touch of white on the angle of its wings. Its body is in two shades of brown, and its wings and neck feathers are iridescent, gleaming green or blue according to the play of light on the feathers.
